Ojalá [English translation]

I hope the leaves won't touch your body when they fall

So that you won't be able to turn them into crystal

I hope the rain stops being a miracle that runs down your body

I hope the moon could come out without you

I hope the soil won't kiss your every step

(Chorus)

I hope you'll stop having that constant gaze

The precise words, that perfect smile

I hope something that will erase you suddenly, happens

A blinding light, a snow shot

I hope that at least death will take me with it

So I won't have to see you so much

So I won't have to see you all the time

Every second, In every vision

I hope I won't be able to touch you, not even in songs [1]

I hope the dawn won't utter screams that fall on my back

I hope your name will be forgotten by that voice

I hope the walls won't keep in the noise of your weary walking

I hope this desire will be gone with you

Towards your old reign made of dead people and flowers

(Chorus)

I hope something that will erase you suddenly, happens

A blinding light, a snow shot

I hope that at least death will take me with it

So I won't have to see you so much

So I won't have to see you all the time

Every second, In every vision

I hope I won't be able to touch you, not even in songs [1]
